The company was founded over 75 years ago, and, since 1966, has had its headquarters in Blomberg in East Westphalia, Germany. Since our foundation, we have constantly been building on our expertise in development, production, and sales and marketing. The company philosophy, "Innovation in INTERFACE", sums up what motivates us every day: to make the working lives of our customers easier by providing new products and services.

Four strategic areas of activity, spearheaded by six product lines, have developed from expertise in electrical connection engineering combined with continuous dialog with users all over the world..........

The Clipline range from Phoenix Contact, one of the global market leaders in electrical connection technology, provides an extensive service portfolio in addition to high-quality components and system.

By combining our many years of experience as the inventor of the modular terminal block with continuous communication with users all over the world, we develop innovative complete solutions for the perfect control cabinet:

From the high-quality terminal block with conventional and time-saving connection methods through the installation material and practical tools to the complete PC-supported configuration and marking system, PHOENIX CONTACT can provide the ideal solution for all of your applications at an attractive price/performance ratio.

PLUSCON - Industrial Plug Connectors

For you as a switch cabinet or device manufacturer, the challenge is how to save even more time and money in system installations. PHOENIX CONTACT provides a modern, comprehensive range of industry plug connectors for all applications: PLUSCON - connector plus ideas. With Pluscon, you can accomplish all device connections economically in IP 65 - even with a direct p.c.b. connection. By the way: p.c.b. connectors of protection type IP 20 can be found in catalog part 5, P.C. Terminal Blocks/COMBICON.

• PLUSCON-VC: VARIOCON, the square plug connector for housing feed throughs in IP 65 with variable contact inserts - for screw or p.c.b. connection.
• PLUSCON-RC: round plug connectors in metal with signal and power contacts. For industrial applications, the compact connectors are all IP 67 and EMC protected.
• PLUSCON-SACB and SAC: the sensor/ actuator boxes and the extensive range of cables set new standards in distributed field cabling: with a permanently connected master cable or for free assembly.
• PLUSCON-HC: for the proven connection of power and control conductors in heavy-duty operation.
• PLUSCON-HCM: the modular plug connector for heavy-duty operation in which electricity and pneumatics can be mixed.

When it comes to designing your printed circuit board connection so that it is cost-effective, service-friendly, and neatly arranged, the print terminals and the COMBICON range from PHOENIX CONTACT are the ideal choice. These ranges flexibly cover all wiring requirements for both device manufacturers and PCB processors. Together with the Electronic housings, both ranges open up numerous possibilities to efficiently "pack" printed circuits and to connect them to I/O devices.

Surge voltages are caused by lightning discharges, switching operations in electrical circuits, and electrostatic discharges. Surge voltages are very short-term and only last about a millionth of a second. Nevertheless, these voltages, which are usually very high, are capable of destroying electronic circuits or the insulation between printed circuit tracks. With the TRABTECH product range, PHOENIX CONTACT offers complete surge voltage protection from the current supply through measuring and control technology, telecommunications and data networks to protection for transmitter and receiver systems.

INTERFACE - Signal Level Matching

INTERFACE - means safe and economical signal adaption for industrial applications around the control system:

• transducing
• amplifying
• isolating
• supplying

• binary signals
• analog signals
• serial signals
• and the power supply of all devices.

• the logistic effort is reduced
• solution elements agreed on can be compiled
• we support you with your solution

From the terminal in the control cabinet, through system cabling for programmable controllers and surge voltage protection to INTERBUS as a serial wiring system for industrial systems - Phoenix Contact products are available in practically every control cabinet. Control systems, IEC 61131 programming, and visualization extend this product program to provide complete automation solutions.
Phoenix Contact also offers operation and monitoring, software, I/O components in the field and control cabinet, and motion control technology for all components for complete industrial automation in the network and control technology sector.

Full Service Automation, a complete service package, is available for the INTERBUS automation kit. First you can expect expert advice, training, and fast service, and second we provide support during planning, configuration, programming, and startup of your machine or system. Phoenix Contact provides dedicated specialists and engineers to work on new concepts with you and to ensure a comprehensive service.
